Axle or axle boots ?

[ChrixFl5]

What’s up guys. So I messed up a little when installing my springs !and ripped the inner boots on the axles.

Is there anyplace I could order the boots and clips and all that ?

Or whole axle assembly ?

Very stupid noob mistake.

Thanks in advance!

Honda doesnt appear to sell them separately. I doubt you'll find anything listed for FL5's in the aftermarket due to being new, but there are repair boots that likely fit. Get dimensions and search the web.
Not a fun job, but used to be a common fix before cheap axles were widely available.

Would I be able to order axles from the dealership ?

I'm sure the dealer can get them. FK8's are over $400 each from what I see online.
It looks like there are aftermarket axles for FK8 at Advance Auto Parts for example. Not sure about FL5, but worth checking.

Often times, people just damage the axle seal when installing springs because they did not loosen/remove the axle nut. This is actually very common. The axle seal is only like $15 from the dealer. I’d start there before replacing a whole axle. I do not have the part number but I’m sure someone here does.

Now that you say that actually my
Driver side axle seal is in fact leaking also. Along with a ripped boot on the passenger side.

91205-RT4-003 is the part number for the seal. I was lucky enough to have only damaged the seal and not the axle. It cost me $300 to replace at a reputable shop as I did not want to deal with it at all lol.

Had the same thing happen on my Si when I tried to do a spring swap. Boots can be had separately but they might be on indefinite backorder. I was told they had been backordered for 2 years with no idea when they would be available as a piece so I had to buy an entire axle.
